Nate must therefore find a way to gather the beloved heroes and rebels of season 1, including billionaire inventor Ray Palmer, creator of an exo-skeleton capable of making him shrink and tiny, and who makes him A.T.O.M.; Sara Lance, known as Canary, a highly trained assassin; Professor Martin Stein and Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson who together form the metahuman Firestorm; and Mick Rory, aka Heat Wave, a hardened criminal. When the Legends meet the Justice Society of America (forerunner of the Justice League) in the 40s, Amaya Jiwe, aka Vixen, joins the team. And as it gathers, a mystery looms: the fate of former Captain Rip Hunter. Once reunited, the Legends continue their new mission to protect the timeline from temporal aberrations – unusual changes in history with potentially catastrophic consequences. And when Nate, grandson of Commander Steel, a member of the Justice Society of America, finds himself with powers in unexpected ways, he must overcome his lack of confidence and discover the real hero in him.
